The difference between the two countries concerns NGO ships and whether they should be directed mainly to Italian ports
The migration issue is causing new tension between Italy and France, according to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. The specific dispute concerns NGO ships and whether they should be directed mainly to Italian ports.
According to La Repubblica, "from Elise it is underlined that at tomorrow's MED-9 meeting in Alicante, no bilateral meeting between Meloni and Macron is foreseen" and that "Meloni is still looking for a date to visit Paris".
Meanwhile, Italian government sources told the Ansa news agency that "it does not appear that the Italian prime minister has committed to visiting Paris" and that "Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has not received an invitation to do so, since we all believe that such invitations are not made through the press."
